New to BP - Introduction

[Hannah B.]

Hi All, 

I'm new to BP and wanted to provide a quick introduction. My name is Hannah, and I live in the SF Bay Area (East Bay). I'm a land use consultant who currently focuses on land use entitlements and lease negotiations on behalf of the wireless telecommunications industry. I have experience working in the private sector (focused on telecom projects as well as residential and commercial development) and in the public sector (working in a City Planning department). 

I joined BP because I have recently become more interested in RE investing and would love to connect with local people/groups focused on RE investment. My husband is a partner in a construction company that focuses on residential remodeling as well as a landscaping company. We are always looking to meet new people and collaborate on potential business ventures (myself from the zoning/permitting side and him from the construction side). 

I have enjoyed following along here and learning from this amazing community. I am interested in learning more about out-of-state investing, syndications, ADU development, and innovative house hacking strategies.

I'm a housing policy and zoning nerd and will post interesting housing policy changes to the forum as I see them. There are a lot of shifts in housing policy happening nationwide that may be of interest to this community. 

I look forward to meeting and collaborating with you!

 Hi Hannah! 

Welcome to the community. It sounds like between you and your husband you have what it takes to be a power couple in Real Estate. You should consider investing OOS here in Columbus, Cleveland, or Cincinnati. The price-to-rent ratio makes for great investments. Not to mention our appreciation has been 8% higher than the US national average, because of the high demand for affordable housing.

We also have huge corporations here like Intel, Amazon, and Google just to name a few. Truly, you cannot go wrong. The best thing I did was to get started in real estate, and I have never regretted a minute of it.
